My DSS work flow looks like:
1) mencoder 2 passes, h264 video aac audio, output is an avi file, the
mencoder manual has a section on creating quicktime compatible files:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-quicktime-7.html

2) use mplayer's dumpaudio and dumpvideo options to split the h264 and
aac into seperate files

3) mp4creator to remux the h264 and aac into a hinted mp4 file
